OLIVE BRANCH, OHIO.

IM PROVEM ENT IN PLOWS.

Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 55,984, dated July 3, 1866.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, SOLOMON BEGKETT, of Olive Branch, Glermont county, and State of Ohio, have invented a new and useful Improvement in Plows, of which the following is a full and clear description thereof, reference being had to the accompanyin gdrawin gs, forming part ofthis specification.

My improvement has reference to a protecting or shin plate in connection with a cutter secured to the mold-board of a plow.

In the accompanying drawings, Figure 1 represents a perspective view of a plow with my improvement attached. Fig. 2 represents a perspective view of my sheathing-plate and cutter and its application to the plow.

A is the mold-board of a plow, to which is bolted my improvement, the sheathing-plate and cutter B and O, forged in one piece, being bolted to or riveted to mold-board A, or to the frame of the plow, by bolts or rivets b. The lower end of sheathing-plate B is mortised into or underlaps the plowshare at c.

Having described the mode of applying my improvement to plows, I herein set forth its advantages.

The object of sheathing-plate B is to protect the mold-board A, since the greatest amount of friction occurs upon the shinof the plow, wearing it out before the balance.

The objectin making mold-plate B and cut-' 1. The sheathing-plate B, fitted and secured to mold-board A of a-plow, for the purpose above described and set forth.

2. The sheathing-plate B, in combination with cutter O.
